Philadelphia added Hall of Famer Jerry Colangelo as the team’s special advisor to the managing general partner and chairman of basketball operations on Monday. Colangelo hinted at a contract extension for Brown during his introduction by the team.

Brown is the eighth coach to head the Sixers since Larry Brown left the team in 2003. He signed a four-year deal in the summer of 2013. The new deal is expected to keep him through the 2018–2019 season.
